Havaianas Beach Pop-Up With Glamour Magazine

Last night was the Havaianas beach pop-up kick off hosted by The Girls of Lincoln Park, Amy Tara Koch and myself along with Glamour as the main sponsor.

I got to make my own Havaianas once again (went with purple and black for this year’s event) and starting next week you’ll be able to do the same! The pop-up will be at North Ave beach Thursdays through Sundays from July 4th through September 5th, open from 11am-7pm.

Take a look at my [iPhone] photos from the party…

Shop Net-a-Porter Under $250

With pretty much everyone having a major sale right now (most of which are in the process of winding down…so get those purchases in), it can be overwhelming. To me, the most exciting sales to shop are the high end designer sales because let’s be honest…nothing feels better than scoring those Atwoods you’ve had your eye on at half off (or more). So I scoured my favorite luxury site Net-a-Porter to find you the best sale shoes, jewelry and handbags under $250.

Karl Lagerfeld Black Diamond Collar

If you’re like the biggest Karl Lagerfeld fan ever (and have $37,500 to spare) then you’re going to love this! If you are in different about Karl and live on a budget, I suggest you keep reading anyway…

Photobucket

Net-a-Porter has partnered with Karl Lagerfeld to create a one-of-a-kind diamond pavé and leather collar, featuring over 40 carats of black diamonds and a 22.33 carat hydrothermal emerald at the neck. Yes, this is real and it’s available exclusively on Net-a-Porter.com. The collar will also be exhibited at Masterpiece London as part of Carol Woolton’s ‘Brilliant’ exhibition from June 28th until July 4th. The collar comes with a sketch signed by Karl Lagerfeld, as well as a donation to CLIC Sargent. I also hope this comes with Karl’s cat, Choupette.

I first discovered Meredith Wendell at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week’s first ever accessories bazaar  (took this photo of their collection while I was there) and with the brand’s use of bright colors, I was immediately hooked…and you will be too. So stop by space519 at the 900 Shops this Saturday to check it out!
